The Signal messaging app is an instant messaging application that works on the principle of true end to end encryption. A lot of people have been switching to this app, ever since Whatsapp introduced a new set of terms of use, that allowed their parent company, Facebook, to access absolutely every bit of data that is shared on the Whatsapp platform.
What is even more baffling is that you end up losing access to the Whatsapp account if you don’t accept these terms of use. All of these factors have started a revolution, where users are fully switching to the more secure Signal Messaging App.
If you have downloaded your copy of the Signal app and set it up, the next thing you want to do starts adding contacts in order to start communicating with them.
Now, by default, all the people in your contact list, who already have a Signal account, will be added automatically to the contact list, but there are two other types of contacts that you can add to the Signal app –
- Users who are on the Signal platform, but are not saved in your native contact list.
- Users who are in your contact list, but not on Signal.
Let’s see the options we have in regards to the aforementioned options.
